How to work on a long directory in parallel groups
I have a directory with ~10000 files.
I want to pass from this directory, blocks of filenames splitted by 500 to run some command on the single file in this way:
my_command() {
for i in (eventual group of 500); do echo "do something with $i"; done
}
my_command <first group 500 from my_dir> &
p1=$!
my_command <second group 500 from my_dir> &
p2=$!
...
my_command <last 500 from my_dir> &
p21=$!
wait $p1
wait $p2
...
wait $p21
...do something else here on...
How can I do something like this?

There's gnu.org/software/parallel ... may be available as a package for your distro?
